Re: [MS_AccessPros] Filter

 

John-

Yes, John Smith='55 is the result after debug.print.

How to get this? "John Smith =" & 55

Best Regards,

John-

This is a long story. Let me organize my word to make it short and easy to understand.

I have table named tblEmployMenu which stores the form names.

tblEmployeeMenu

EMID

EmployeeID

EMFormName

FilterID

FormType

tblFormType

FTID

FormType

e.g. Data in tblFormType

1    edit

2    read only

3    filter by ID

So in the tblEmployeeMenu, If FormType is 3, Employee(user) can open the form vie filter which matches the FilterID (e,g.CoachOperatorID) of the opening form, and the "EmployeeID" of the current user. The EmployeeID is behind the frmEmployeeMenu, and it opens all the time.

Sorry for my poor English. I hope you may read me well enough by now. Thanks a lot for your patience.

If you look at strWhere (perhaps by doing a Debug.Print), it looks like:

'John Smith='55

That is not a valid predicate, so you'll either get an error or no rows.

Also, the arguments for OpenForm are:

FormName, View, FilterName, WhereCondition, DataMode, WindowMode, OpenArgs

The fifth argument probably should be one of the data modes, like acFormEdit, not acFotm.  Are you trying to specify the View?  I prefer to use named arguments to avoid having to count commas, like this:

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmGroupList, WhereCondition:=strWhere, View:=acNormal, WindowMode:=acDialog

Notice that you don't have to specify the arguments in order, and by using the parameter names, it's easier to see what it going on.

What is in IDName and EmployeeID?  What is the name of the field you're trying to filter, and what does it contain?

Dear All,

I would like to get the result of:

"SomeID=" & Me.EmployeeID as a filter

I have a text field IDName stores the name of the "SomeID" as title not as value.

So I wrote something like:

strWhere=""" & IDName & "="" & Me.EmployeeID

Then I apply it as this:

DoCmd.OpenForm "frmGroupList", , strWhere, , acFotm, acDialog

I didn't get the result I expected. Please help, Thanks.

Best Regards,

Kevin
